Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

Reviewed By Our Editors

Scanners have become an important part of the home and office over the last few years. Scanner technology is everywhere and used in many ways. With today’s advanced scanning technology, it is incredibly easy to capture text and images, allowing you to save softcopies of documents on your computer. You can then alter or enhance the image, print it out or use it on your Web page.

Epson has unveiled its latest scanner called the Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner. This device is considered as a flatbed type or desktop scanner. It is one of the most versatile and most commonly used scanners today.

The Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner uses a 6400 x 9600 dpi optical resolution with 48-bit color depth and 16-bit gray scale depth. With a 6400 dpi optical resolution, users can create 17” x 22” or bigger enlargements from film with incredible detail and accuracy. Additionally, with 48-bit color depth and a 3.4 dynamic range, the Epson V500 Photo produces scans with brilliant, true-to-life colors.

Another feature of the Epson V500 Photo scanner is the energy-efficient ReadyScan LED technology. This technology is part of this device to completely eliminate warm-up time when turning on the scanner. Also, the ReadyScan LED adjusts the colors of the light source based on the type of document being scanned. Therefore, it scans faster and offers low-energy consumption.

The Epson V500 Photo includes two powerful, yet easy-to-use complete photo restoration solutions for advanced amateur photographers and creative consumers, including Digital ICE and Epson Easy Photo Fix technology. Digital ICE is an innovative technology that easily removes the appearance of dust and scratches from film, eliminating the need for costly photo retouching services. Meanwhile, Epson Easy Photo Fix restores faded color photos, slides and negatives back to their original brilliance with one click.

Another powerful tool for image correction that has been included in Epson V500 Photo Scanner is Adobe Photoshop Elements. Other than image correction, using this software allows users to create, edit, organize and share images.

Adding to its robust feature set, the Epson V500 Photo Scanner has built-in Transparency Units (TPU) such as scan slides, negatives and medium format films. It also includes an optional Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that facilitates users’ needs for immediately scanning multiple documents.

Furthermore, the said scanner manufactured by Epson uses the high-speed USB 2.0 interface connectivity. With USB 2.0, it can transfer data via the USB 2.0 port at up to 480Mbps for maximum performance. The scanner is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista and Mac OS.

The Epson Perfection V500 Photo is an ideal solution for advanced amateur photographers, graphic designers and other creative consumers who are looking for a scanner that delivers professional quality scans and productivity at an affordable price. This scanner has the superior performance of a high-end commercial lab scanner designed to accommodate varying skill levels, whether for in-house use, professional studio or small office. The scanner is yet another example of Epson’s unyielding commitment to deliver the optimal combination of technology, quality and value.

Dead scanner

I bought this scanner two years ago to digitize all of my old pictures & negatives. Installation was a snap and the software was well thought out. The scans were high quality. The scanner unfortunately died after about 700 scans. It stopped working in the middle of a scan and will no work again. Support is no help and my warranty is, of course expired.

Short Life

I bought this scanner two years ago to digitize all of my old 35mm pictures & negatives. I had to let it sit until last month when I finally started using it. Installation was a snap and the software was well thought out. The scans were high quality - especially on my 35mm negatives. The scanner unfortunately died after about 350 scans. It stopped working in the middle of a scan and will no longer power up. Support is no help and my warranty is, of course expired. My HP Scanjet 6250 has been working fine for 10 years. I am going back to HP and have bought an HP G4050 to finish the job.

Great for photos, slides, and negatives!

This scanner is pretty quick. Kind of loud in and interesting way. The scans are crisp and clear, and the resolution is awesome. the inserts that come with it help line up slides, negatives and other small media for high resolution scanning.

Works so far

No complaints so far... quality is there and the reason why it was purchased was to scan 120 and 35mm film. As of now 1 month into it... all is well with a solid increase in the quality of scans that we were getting on our old scanner and printer combo.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

This is an excellent scanner that is simple to use and very capable. The big bonus for me is that it will scan 6cm x 6cm slides and negatives. Few consumer-level scanners will do that. The software cleans up the images quite well overall. but for those requiring more help, the included Photoshop Elements 9 will do the job. All in all, I am very satisfied with this package.
